Importance of Stream Interaction Regions to Space Weather and Energetic Particle Predictions
Stream Interaction Regions (SIRs), also known as Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) play an extremely important role in particle acceleration and transport in the heliosphere. Understanding SIRs is important to fundamental understanding of particle acceleration and better space weather predictions.
